5 Seconds of Summer star relieved he no longer has to hide his love

5 Seconds of Summer star Luke Hemmings is glad he no longer has to hide his love for girlfriend Arzaylea after fans discovered the singer is not single.

The 19-year-old star has been dating the 21-year-old American since last summer (15), and they seemed inseparable during a recent Rolling Stone interview, during which Luke admitted he hated hiding his love.

"It's hard," he told the publication. "One of the weird things is you want it to be a secret, but you don't want it to be a secret."

But Arzaylea, who calls herself "an Internet influencer", admits the big reveal has been tough for her, as fans have turned on her and accused the former beauty school student of being nothing but a puppet to create publicity, according to Rolling Stone.

"You all hate me when you don't know me..." she tweeted to 5 Seconds of Summer devotees last year (15).

In other news, the Australian band recently opened up about how fellow boyband One Direction has taught them so much since they first started out.

The two bands are good friends, and 5 Seconds of Summer have toured with the Brit group on three occasions.

"Their story is very different to ours," they told Notion magazine. "Their type of music is very different to ours as well. It's a different type of journey, but to see how they've done it and the way they treat their touring crew is something we've learnt from. We just want everyone that works for us to be happy, and we wouldn't have known how to do that unless we'd toured with One Direction."

The British boyband announced last year (15) it will be going on hiatus in 2016.
